Assumptions: | |||||||||||
a We assume that an average of 41 respondents will be subject to this rule, and that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of the ICR. | |||||||||||
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $163.17 ($77.70 + 110%); Technical $130.28 ($62.04 + 110%); and Clerical $65.71 ($31.29 + 110%). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2022, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for varying industry wage rates and the additional overhead business costs of employing workers beyond their wages and benefits, including business expenses associated with hiring, training, and equipping their employees. | |||||||||||
c We have assumed that all respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. | |||||||||||
d We have assumed that it will take 280 hours to complete a performance test. | |||||||||||
e It will take respondents 4 hours to conduct a reference Method 9 test. | |||||||||||
f We have assumed that 20 percent of new respondents will have to repeat the performance test. | |||||||||||
g We have assumed that it will take 8 hour two times per year for each respondent to complete the semiannual report of exceedances. | |||||||||||
h We have assumed that it will take 15 minutes, 250 days per year to record CMS operating parameters information. | |||||||||||
i We have assumed that it will take 1.5 hours once a year to record information on startup, shutdown, and malfunction. | |||||||||||
j Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |
